Regulatory Change Management Skills

Regulatory change management tracks new and amended obligations from publication through implementation. Employers need horizon scanning, source evaluation, applicability analysis, impact assessment, stakeholder coordination, action tracking, policy and control updates, testing, and closure evidence.

Knowing that a law changed is only the beginning. Applied skill means identifying affected entities, products, jurisdictions, processes, systems, contracts, policies, and controls. Demonstrate competence with a change record containing source text, effective date, applicability decision, impact analysis, assigned actions, dependencies, approvals, implementation evidence, and post-change testing.
